MY FANCY'S QUEEN.
TENNESSEE

Twill not say II she be dark or fair
Or II her eyes be hazel, black or blue;
l will not dwell upon her wealth OF hair,
Or on its sillzen glossiness or hue.
i know not IL to other men she seem
The sweetest woman earth has ever seen.
The incarnation Of poets dream
But this know: she is my Fancy's Queen.
BE thou forever blest, proptious day,
When first 1 saw her, robed in creamy white.
\ sought TO speak to her-she would not stay,
But, like a startled wood-bird took TO fight.
The fairies knew her as she swiftly slept
Along their forest pathway arched with green,
And from the fiower-fastnesses out crept
To weave new love-spels for my Fancy's
Queen.
u followed hard at heel-she knew it not,
For never once she turned her lovely face
Nor paused, but onward sped towards the spot
Whereon were housed her innocence AND
grace.
rested not until heard her name,
And wooed her-aye, and made her mine,
ween
And now she is a grave and stately DAME
But none the less is she my Fancy's Queen.

THE DOMINION ELECTIONS.

The approaching elections in the Dominion
have an important bearing upon the fisheries
question Sir John Macdonald, after a series
of political reverses in Ontario, Quebec and
Nova Scotia, reluctantly appealed to the coun-
try. Four Of his Ministers were unable to JUS
dfy this step on grounds Of political expcdicncy
They resigned their offices, the Quebec leaders
especially condemning his course, since they
considered it idle to ask the French Catholics
to support tho Government so soon after the
Rel excitement. The aged Prime Minister
has been forced to recruit his Cabinet staff and
to rcairange his line Of battle in the face Of q
victorious enemy. Sir Charles Upper has re-
turned TO Office, and the Cabinet has been re-
organized but the chances of an Opposition
triumph have multiplied. If the discussions in
the Cabinet had not occurred, Sir John Mac
donald would have been in position to make
a strong appeal 10 the country on behalf of the
protective tariff and the fisheries. The Oppo-
sition leaders are now confident Of victory all
along the line. A new Government seems
destined to take the place of the present Cab
met. which has vigorously enforced the customs
laws against the American fishing fleet.
The Conservative press in the Maritime Prov
inces assumes that Mr.. Blake as the leader Of
the Government will allow the terrible Yam
KEGS to do just as they like; to buy bait and
ship men and supplies in Canadian harbors to
send their fish by railway to England and
to poach constantly upon the thrcc-mle pre-
serves. This conclusion is doubtless strongly
colored for partisan effect but it is evident that
q change of government will bring with 1t
modification of the fisheries policy. Mr. Blake.
when menaced with the operation of the Ed
munds or Belmont schemes of retaliation, will
lo certain TO repress the predatory instincts Of
the Quigleys and customs officials. The strong
Literal feeling in Ontario in favor Of the re-
duction of the duties on coal and the revision
OF the tariff will engross his attention. and the
fishermen of the Maritime Provinces viii DO I'M

Government has given the signal for change
of policy by releasing within week four YES

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Mrs. Helen Campbells paper to-day treats OF
some of the trials AUTHORIZATIONS to whichs shop
girls are subjected. The story contains little
that is new perhaps. In vague and general
way we all know of these things, and think OF
them once In n while with a passing regret or
feeling of pity. Then our own interests and
pleasures reabsOrb us. and we justify our re-
turning indifference by Gains question, and
that is the end of it. Mrs. Campbell strives to
show that for much Of the suffering and misery
she is painting there can be no remedy until
men and women realize their own responsible
ity for good many things whose relation 10
them is indirect and sometimes appar-
emily remote. The prosperous people VINO
dress themselves with such extravaganza to 90
shopping-an extravaganza, be 1t SAID, quite
peculiar To this city-cannot escape accounta-
blity for the folly which their habits suggest to
the shop-girls whose ignorance enYles them
and whose imitation fatters them. They put
into these shallow little heads all manner OF
silly and dangerous ideas. and in so doing they
interfere mischeyOusly with the girls prospects
in life.
The fundamenta al truth is that the privatlons
of the poor, the temptations which assam thcn
the vices which hamper them. are but exag-
gerated reflections of the conditions III when
the rich live. Is there materiallsm, frlvoiity,
ingratitude, ignorance, perverslty, among inc
former class Assuredly the same evils, though
differently manifested, will be found among
those for whom the constraint OF poverty, the
pinch of narrow circumstances, constitute no
palliative or excuse. From those who possess
leisure and means we have right to demand
sobrlety of demeanor, larger views OF Lille, an
example In all the little graces which brighten
social existence. Above all 1t is In this class
that vulgarity and ostentation should die first,
for if opportunity does not urge them toward
the higher life, where can that life be expected
to develop itself 7 There is too much frivolity
and too little sense of responsibility at present
where there should be least of the first and most
of tho second. And this is Indicative
not only OF low standard of aspiration
but of prevailing sclfshness which Is not
pleasant to contemplate. The poor copy the
rich largely, and this must always be the case.
If there is nothing to copy but vanity ana the
coarser conceits of display. the results can only
be bad, and bad for models as well as lmita-
tors The ambitions of tho poor, struggling
shop girl may be- poor and sordid enough. but
how much nobler and more elevated are those
of the wealthy women she seeks In her humble
way to initiate

DLSTRUsT OF TIE HEALTH BOARD.


Every day Is adding to the number Of small
pox cases in the city, to the list Of deaths, to
the excitement and alarm in certain districts
and to the rush Of frightened people to get
yaccinated But only few years ago month
after month passed without the discovery of q
smallpox patient in any part Of the metropolis.
What is the cause of the changef
Is our Health Department as energetic and
efficient now as it was then The general im-
preston certainly is that it is not. People nat
urally lose confidence in department the head
of which has twice failed to secure from jury
of his fellow citizens verdict Of acquittal from
the accusation Of bribery. Complaints have
been heard from the Mott-st. Office that the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment has not
been sufficiently generous in its appropriations
for tho work of the Health Board. But can
the holders of the city's pursc-strings accept
implicitly the statements Of department con-
trolled by an official still under the shame of
a charge Of bribery And is il likely that all
the demands of such a department will be freely
granted
The only way to restore the Health Depart
ment to its old place in the confidence and
esteem of the community is for General Shaler
to retro.

novels at 20 cents apiece there Is wide dis
lance, yet 1t must 10 traversed before we can
hone to attain the culture Of the French bibli-
ophilcs. Cloth bindings have, however, been
tho object Of so much care and skin with our

to flourish unless NO should adopt the French
system Of publishing all books in paper covers.
OF course, there are arguments in favor OF
cheap literature which must be allowed weight

saws. the rich mans home is invaded by tho
twcnty-ccnt libraries. For this mean parsimony
there can be no excuse save such as the guilty
ones would think an aggravatiOn of their Or
fences, and rightly. But since there is more
wealth in New-York than in Paris there surely

and perhaps if more booksellers and book
makers would turn their attention to fine edi-
tons of American as well as foreign classics a
stimulus would be given to the nascent cult.
Rich men who arc not highly cultivated can
do much by simply realizing the obligation to
furnish their homes with fine books as well as
fine furniture and patriotism may we'll be en-

American skill has already, against so many
difficulties and discOuragements, carried to q

educating those who can buy books to rccog-
milton of the fact that they are just as essen
tial to the household as good furniture or house

the education must go much further than this
to produce what is needed, namely real taste
for beautiful bookmaking and bookbindng.
American printers have already shown their
ability to make books almost as beautiful rs the
best French examples. We say "amost," be-
cause no American printer will assert that as
yet we have altogether equalled the best work
OF such Paris houses as Conquet, Dentu, Ha-
Ghetto, etc. The execution of tho de lure edi-

WHY DIR. McGLYNN DID NOT GO TO ROM

The statement published yesterday by au-
thority of DR.. McGlynn, in which tho Pope
and his secretary are accused of brutality"
in calling the -Iiest to Rome after he had given
reasons why he could not or would not CO.
would be moro likely TO excite sympathy for
the ex-pastor Of st. Stephens if we could for
get the language Of his letter of December 20.
That was the communication in which he in
formed Archbishop Corigan Of his detcrmina-
ton to refuse the Papal invitation and no then
declared that his doctrine about the confiscaton
of land was entirely unambiguous and that he
should continue to teach it as long rs he lived,
mo matter by what civil or ecclesiastical
laws" tho contrary might be sanctioned. After
this any further reason for declining to submit
his case to tho Holy See seems to he superflu-
Gus. lie has definitely withdrawn himself
from the Judgment of his Church. There is
no use in his going to Rome pledged in advance
to teach the obnoxious theory as long as he
lives. whatever Rome may decide with respect
to it, He can make his declaration OF indc-
pcndcncc just as we'll at home
The Doctor undoubtedly understands his own
position, for it is intima cd in this statement
that he would not 90 to Rome if he could.
lie would show more 1rnknCSS ana NJ the
same time deal more fairly with his scatter
brain friends, if he would at once accept the
logical consequences of his action. He has been
required 10y an authority which every Catholic
priest is bound to obey to rctract his doctrine
of common property in land and he has en-
phatically answered that he will teach it as
long as he lives. This makes clear issue be-
tween DR.. McGlynn and the Pope. The Roman
Catholic Church does not keep n debating So
ccty. IL insists that all lis ministers shall
preach an approved body of doctrine. If DR..
McGlynn wants more liberty he must 60 out
side, where there is plenty Of room with
every opportunity for free speech. BY trying
to stay IN and 90 out at the same time he is
only encouraging the outbreaks Of rowdy-r-
ligion which keep the police busy at st
Stephens.
